Chapter 76: Medicine
Narrated 'Aisha: During the Prophet' s fatal illness, he used to recite the Mu' auwidhat (Surat An-Nas and Surat Al-
Falaq) and then blow his breath over his body. When his illness was aggravated, I used to recite those
two Suras and blow my breath over him and make him rub his body with his own hand for its
blessings." (Ma 'mar asked Az-Zuhri: How did the Prophet (ﷺ) use to blow? Az-Zuhri said: He used to
blow on his hands and then passed them over his face.)
